Days 13-18 Time Off

I haven't posted for five days. Just didn't do it, though I did do my fitness actions, somewhat to a fair amount. I drank the water, got exercise, and ate pretty well.

But I did not write here, and really, I didn't go full steam ahead on my other fitness project objectives.

I thought about it a lot though, about not writing the daily journal entries and also about sort of taking a mini break from the project. And the more I thought about it the more I thought it is a good thing to do, to have a time out from the project occasionally. To expect to do that, not look at it as "falling off the wagon" or as making a mistake or misstep, but as a natural ebb and flow of attention to a project. Any other project does not have to be a 100 percent of the time effort with no days off. This one doesn't have to be that way either.

Though I was a bit uncomfortable doing it, I think it's really a good thing, to have some spaces in the project for letting it go for a day or a few, to take a break, have a little vacation. Then, when one is ready, go back to it, pick it up, and continue on for the rest of the six months.

This is a project, not a forced march, not an ordeal, not a marathon, just a nice project to do because you love you enough to get fit. And since I love me, I'm continuing the project, and writing about it.
